Male Breast Cancer: The Next Health Epidemic

Men, do you know you have a greater potential to have breast cancer from the water you drink, the meat you eat, and the chemicals you are exposed while golfing and working in the yard? This is the next global epidemic: do you think they will have light blue ribbons? What are you going to do about it?

I just had a patient come into my office with a breast tumor removed. On the other hand, I have seen my share of men show up in my office with a tear in their eye because they were told they have prostate cancer and were encouraged to remove their prostate. Do you take a statin (the drug used to lower your cholesterol)? Do you know one of the side effects of statins is ED (Erectile Dysfunction)? Negative effects of the medication you take for blood pressure can also cause ED. Not to make light of the situation, but your prescribing healthcare provider will tell you not to worry since they will have a pill available to increase your ability to engage in intimate activity with your partner. What do you think? Do you take an aspirin a day? Do you know the aspirin a day is a factor for bleeding? Without blood, you will be tired. What are we going to do about it? Men, it’s time to get SERIOUS about your health.
